truss

Hey everybody. I recently decided to take my stoopidity to a new level, and snapped the truss rod in my Alien bass. I sure hope it's replaceable like other Warwicks. I dropped it off at a luthier I've known for years. I suppose it's a straight-ahead procedure, once the frettboard is off...

``Ugh Comrades`` Since there were huge temperatures' fluctuations those last days, the neck of my Jazz-man moved. It's a bit too much back-bowed now (there's a hump in the middle of the neck, under the G and D Strings). So, I need to un-tighten the neck right? Now, what do I need to tweak the...

Hello everyone, i bought today a new Warwick and i have a problem regarding truss rod. Here's a picture: The warwick tool (and any other tool for that matter) won't fit because in the middle there's this piece of metal that is coming out, and i don't know what's that because on my old and...

Hi mates, I hope you can help me. Some days ago I decided to correct (straighten) the neck relief of my 2001 Corvette Proline 5 str. I loosen strings, took the original WW tool and tried to turn the truss rod nut. It moved very hard, so I put some WD-40 inside and tried it again. Still hard...

Hello to everyone, my first 3D is a question. I have since some months a $$ corvette Nirvana black, all is ok, and instrument is wonderfull. But I heard from bass players that Truss Rod of warwick is very easy to breaking, and at last it should be changed, is it true?? Should I take some...

Hello. 1. What type of truss rod instaled? 2. How it is possible to replace it? Help....:(

Hi guys, had my 95 Streamer LX6 at the luthiers for adjusting neck, bridge, etc. The luthier managed to break the original (aluminium) truss rod and replaced it by a steel truss rod which of course has fairly higher weight. Unfortunately the additional weight makes the former perfectly balanced...

I just brought my bass home from having a pro setup and the guy told me that there is still a slight smile on the neck and that the Truss Rod is already to tight so he cant do anymore to it. Any advise? Need a new neck or need to take it to someone else for a second opinion?

Hey everyone, new to the forum and had a quick question about the old one way truss rod. I recently bought a used 1988 Streamer Stage I bass (love it) Serial # J158988, with Bartolini pick-ups. Before I got the bass the sales guy at Guitar Center informed me that the truss rod was broken and...

Hey Flo and all! Is it possible to order a stronger truss rod? Bass is a '94 Streamer bolt-on with a sandwiched neck (maple-wenge-maple-wenge-maple). It is really slim and feels great but I can't seem to straighten it out (I like an almost flat neck with minimal relief) even at the tightest...

Hi all, i've been bought a second hand 5 string left-handed '03 streamer jazzman, wonderful instrument, but i'm in trouble with the truss-rod, it's come with a big neck relief, about 5-6mm at 12th fret, ok, i'm going to tighten the rod but here start my pain. First, the rod it's very hard to...

I bought a brand new RB Fortress 2 years ago and never had a setup done on it til now and the first time I do I find out my truss rod is just spinning in the neck. AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! Im newly learning but wish I would have had this check when I bought it but didnt think it would be an issue. Now...

Just how tight should the truss rod feel when tightening? Following "" I am getting some the flattening out, but not enough. The truss rod seems tight now and needs much more effort to tighten. Is this resistance from the neck or the rod at its limit? Should I carry on? I can defiantly get...

I just put new strings on my Vette Double Buck a few days ago... and now my bass just feels really dead. The strings feel really tight on it... like they aren't resonating. I'm pretty sure it needs a truss rod adjustment... and I have no experience with that. I bought it off display at GC...

Hi, I have one bass with a MOP Trussrod cover. I have seen this only on the 5th Anni and a bass from the Scorpions bass player - Francis Buchholz Was this a vintage custom indicator or option? Anyone who has a bass with one of these?

I bought a 2-nd hand RB corvette and when I got to adjusting the truss rod... Surprise!!! the truss rod does NOTHING! No matter how much I rotate the allen wrench clockwise the neck will not straighten. Anyone any ideea?? - except taking down the fingerbord... bla bla Thanx

Will this work to adjust the truss rod in my streamer?

Good Evening Gentlemen. Well, here's the deal : The Truss Rod of my 1987 Thumb NT is almost dead. The Luthier's going to try to put it in a different position, and if it works, well, it will only need a check-up after several months. But if it's really dead, than I'll need a new one. So, will a...
